DAT's the day after tomorrow (meaning I have one more full day to study). I thought I'd go through Destroyer's Orgo. section one more time (I went through it once before) since that's my weakest subject, but I'm getting wrecked (somewhere between only 75-60% right). Am I screwed? Should I focus on my notes from Chad's videos instead?
 
With it being that close to the big day... I would recommend using Chad on fast speed. The likelihood of seeing the destroyer-like-difficulty-questions is very low. Maybe a few, as in like 1-2.

I'm not sure if he changed it, but it was there when I used it last month at the bottom of the video I think? I recall them going through video changes the past two months so things may have changed.
 
I'd just say do chad's quizzes and go thru Bootcamp instead and look at roadmaps. I just took the test and it wasn't as hard as destroyer. Go through Bootcamp and roadmaps that is all. I got a 22 by just looking through chad's quizzes bootcamp and destroyer roadmaps for last day review.

I think I'm going to follow your advice. Destroyer is way too demoralizing this close to test day haha at least for Orgo. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm OCD and feel that I need to go through every single thing but I forced myself to just do chad's, BC (which I saved only questions I got wrong or questions I got right but didn't fully understand), and reviewed roadmaps and CHEMICAL TESTS which is like a page.

Gotta be realistic and see what you can do the night before. There's Bio I wanted to review so that was my best option.

Good luck dude! The test was not as bad as you think and this is coming from someone that worries too friggin much. I kept thinking I failed or got lower than 18 or some crap.

Good luck!! I have 4 days left till D-Day so I'm freaking out just as much as you. I also don't have time to go through Destroyer again because I want to improve QR, so I'm only doing the ones I missed from the first time around.

I concur with the above posters. Chad's is the way to go and you can watch him on fast speed if you download the enounce myspeed plugin.. If you 've already seen the videos a few times, I suggest watching it on 2x or even 2.5 playback. Because I already watched them 2ish times watching them 2.5x speed is actually not detrimental at all, I find that it's helping me remeber some of the obscure reactions.

Where can I find those chemical tests? Thank you!
 
Maybe I'm in the minority with this, but if you've been cramming and studying 4-8 hours a day for weeks on end, the day before your exam should be a day to completely relax.

hey, I downloaded the plug in, does it just work from the moment you get it.

Haha I've never been able to do that. I'm def taking it easy but I don't think I can go all day without doing something.
 
No, you have to quit your browser and restart it. If that doesn't work, restart your computer.

If you have an older version of a Mac, you have to deactivate some plugin setting, I'll look it up for you if the above two solutions don't work.
